Matteo was an excellent and accommodating host, who was eager for us to enjoy his small town. He left us cool drinks in the fridge and showed us the way to two lovely swimming spots in the river. In our short stay we had a lovely time. The apartment is a short drive from some very pretty towns and the landscape is beautiful in every direction. I'd also like to say that this place is great value, and the house was cool and fresh even in the height of summer.

The lodge is close to Tuscan-Emilian Apennine National Park, adventure parks, Apuan Alps, medieval villages and Renaissance fortresses.
You will love our accommodation for its central location in the valley, for the panorama of the Apuan Alps, to be immersed in the green and quiet of a traditional Garfagnana farm, for the sense of hospitality.
The house is suitable for couples, families (with children) and hairy friends (pets).

The house is very beautiful, located in the countryside, a little bit outside of a small village. It is the excellent place for people who want to enjoy nature, relax a little or go hiking. The pizza oven outside works perfectly fine and we enjoyed it a lot! For the pool it was to cold in April, and it wasn't prepared for the summer, but Brunello gave us this information before the (URL HIDDEN) is the perfect host and we could ask him about everything in the area. For the next time in Tuscany we would definitely book the same spot!

My mom and I had a wonderful stay at Raphael's place! He was not there himself, but we got the key from the cleaning lady who was very kind. The appartment was gigantic and very very clean! The view was amazing from every angle of the appartment and everything was there, even a washing machine and vacuumcleaner. The town is also very idyllic, and so was the pool that we had completely for ourselves. Strongly recommended!

We really enjoyed the nice apartment in the Garfagnana. Great view, great house (big for 3 people!), nicely decorated. It's also nice that you can walk to the nearby village. The pool is also great, though we didn't use it as much as we expected. BTW, I think the pool is shared with paying customers from the nearby village, so not a private pool, but for us not a big deal. The terrace of this specific apartment is not in front or right next to the apartment, but about 15mts around the corner out of the front door. So that was sometimes a little bit unhandy with our one year old who just started to walk and could crawl (or fall) under the fence. So eating/sitting outside needed a bit of planning and coördination. If you want a terrace right in front of your apartment, I would recommend one of the two other apartments of this house. PS: the pizza and pasta of the restaurant were great!

This was my best AirBNB experience to date. Everyone was so nice to us and overly accomidating. Whenever we had a question, the people who co-owned the Pizzeria next door were very helpful. We were very lucky to be helped by such nice people. They even gave us a free pizza for every guest! The home was beautiful and well-furnished. The kitchen was amazing! The place has a gorgeous view of the mountains and a nice patio area. We had such a lovely time we never wanted to leave the house!

The apartment was spacious and well-equipped; the pool was nice and the view was amazing. Raphaël's family were very kind. We really enjoyed our stay there.

Our house has been recently restored. Once our family's farmhouse, it's sunny and comfortable and can be rented as a whole or as 2 separate flats ( July or August only whole house rental). It offers a flexible accomodation and can guest up to 11 persons (7 adults and 4 children under 12 years old) in 4 bedrooms and 2 sofabeds. Kitchens perfectly equipped, dishwasher, washing machine, Internet wireless . The large sunny terrace, the balcony and the sunny porch offer to our guests a stunning view over the Alps and the Appennine. Large new bathrooms (one equipped for guests with reduced mobiliy), tables and chairs to dine outside, large pool with garden, deckchairs, BBQ and not only for kids.... table football!!

We are in the very heart of Garfagnana Valley, surrounded by woods and fields, but still very well connected with the small town of Castelnuovo Garfagnana, the principal centre of this beautiful valley, whichis at 10 minutes driviing distance. The view over the Aplps and apennine is fantastic. Nearby horse riding, tennis courts, golf club, all within a few minutes.
The National Park of Orecchiella and the beautiful forest along the Passod elle Radici road are perfect places to walk, hike and go mountain byking around!

Me and my family enjoyed the stay in michelles and lauras beautiful house to the fullest! 10/10 stars. The house was build like old school tuscany house but with all modern benefits. Everything worked perfect and the house was very clean and good located. If you like agrotourisem its a perfect place. From there we also could visited many places like Pisa, Lucca etc. (1h away). Big supermarkets are 10 minutes away by car and a smaller local supermarked, with anything you need, 5 minutes by feet. The pool was cleaned every day and perfect on hot days to cool down. We enjoyed the beautiful view from the house like on the tuscany oil paints - full of green! Even beautiful in the night surrounded by fireflys near the house. The hosts michelle and laura were very kind and warmhearted and i'm happy to call them as friends now! They also was anytime reachable for further questions about restaurants, places to see, etc. Just perfect for families with or without kids. I hope we can come again next year. Ciao and a big thanks to francesca for picking us up in the village and introducing us to michelle and laura. And also a big thanks to michelle and laura for being such good hosts!

Laura and Michele were great and very friendly hosts. The house lies a bit aside but very lovely and quiet. And the pool and the garden are so big, you don't want to leave it or drive elsewhere. The house was well equiped and very clean. We cannot wait, having holidays there again.

We were 2 families from Denmark travelling together, in total 9 persons (4 children and 5 adults) and we had all of the house (both apartments) to ourselves. The standard of the house is really good, the pool area was great and Michele and Laura really did all the could to make us feel welcome! We spent almost 2 weeks there and we loved the area and the beautiful view. The surrounding villages are very charming and we also visited Lucca a couple of times. We were also lucky to be invited for dinner by our hosts and they served us homemade pizzas from their outside stone oven. A great experience, especially for the kids! La Grotta Della Faina is well worth a visit – Thanks to Michele and Laura!

Someone has called the green island of Tuscany and in fact this valley, but close to important historical towns such as Lucca, Pisa, Florence and the flamboyant and fashionable Versilia, was closed in itself, living its own history and building a strong identity that still retains. From Garfagnana you can easily reach famous historical centers as Lucca, Pisa and Firenze, as well as the sparkler Riviera della Versilia, La Spezia and le Cinque Terre. Closer, almost a unique part with Valley, Lunigiana, with its castles, Serchio Media Valley, that with its Devil's Bridge (Ponte del Diavolo) in Borgo a Mozzano let start the geographical entrance to the Lucca province mountain area, we share with Alta Versilia a good part of our mountain chain. The Apuan Alps, which divide to the west by the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Apennine Mountains to the east, enclosing the valley like a casket. Garfagnana, literally Great Forest, so this valley seemed to its first visitors and even today you will be astonished in front of the extension of its lush forests. Man-planted, cared for and cultivated the chestnut up to 1000 meters above sea level, wild, intricate, finally the beech which go up, over 1700 meters and, year after year, trying to regain the heights of mountains nude.In this immense mass of green appear, almost suddenly, perched on a hill, perched on the high plains that slope towards the river, overhanging on vertiginous cliffs, the many small towns that characterize the Valley. Ruts in the narrow streets, inside the medieval defensive walls, time passes slowly, the rhythms are those of the past, the games of boys the same for centuries, the "workshops" have an antique perfume. the Valley is a real invitation to enjoy a relaxing holiday, relax on the edge of a swimming pool or lying on a fragrant meadow of "pepolino" (wild thyme), silently listening to the sounds of nature that surrounds us. Let yourself be enthralled by this goslow, it will be easy to discover hidden corners of the Valley which offer entirely different aspects to the change of the seasons: the footpath, landscape, Woods, colours every time will be for you a new emotion.
